The current GEDCom format (5.5) has outlived it&#39;s usefulness. We need a better multi system wide basis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995806.post-87659744151830904782010-11-10T06:17:03.718-07:002010-11-10T06:17:03.718-07:00Dear B.

GEDCOM is part of the discussion is because that is where we have been for many years. The &quot;BetterGEDCOM&quot; is just a term for the Community to create a Better way to Share our research.<br /><br />It is hoped that our vendors will develop a way to do this.<br /><br />As a User of a genealogy program, I don&#39;t care HOW our vendors make this sharing possible.<br /><br />Again, this is a community effort to move forward.<br /><br />I hope you made your comments known on the Wiki, as that is where the community can see your input to this project.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />RussRusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995806.post-36486841266185869092010-11-09T14:23:08.282-07:002010-11-09T14:23:08.282-07:00Suggestion: Implement the better GEDCOM in XML Sch...Suggestion: Implement the better GEDCOM in XML Schema. That will move the spec from the esoteric to the well-understood and open it up for processing by a wide variety of standard tools. Adding XSLT to the mix will make the results immediately displayable with contemporary Internet browsers.Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158676962843150523noreply@blogger.com
